There’s simply too much good TV to watch right now. This problem has never existed before. I blame the Internet.

As someone who grew up on terrible, formulaic shows, having so much quality content available on the TV feels shocking. And thanks to subscription services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, I can watch those shows nonstop on my TV, notebook, or smartphone day or night.

A few announcements made this week show how the Net is bringing even more quality shows to viewers. Amazon Prime just signed a deal with HBO to license many of its original shows. It’s the first time HBO has licensed its content to a subscription service. I’d love to lose a weekend binge-watching “The Wire.”

Also, AOL announced that it will soon offer Miramax films online for free, supported by ads. This is on top of the already strong lineup of original shows that AOL produces online. Last year, AOL created the series #CandidlyNicole, starring Nicole Richie. The series did so well that it will launch on VH1 this July.

Next week is a big week for original online video. Sites that create online series -- including AOL, Yahoo, Vice, and several more, will hold events called NewFronts in New York City in which they’ll show their upcoming projects to advertisers and try to get advertising commitments.

There’s a lot of Hollywood talent making online series now, and you might be surprised at just how good many online are.

Jerry Seinfeld’s show “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” available on Crackle.com, is a great one to start with. Seinfeld and his A-list comedy friends simply go out for some java, and the results are always hilarious.

AOL and Yahoo also offer strong online video areas.

If you love good TV, this is a great time to be watching. If you’re trying to cut down on TV and read more books, it’s going to be a struggle.
